I have done a pitiful job of keeping up with my blog this summer. Maybe I will do better when fall gets here. (grin) I decided to take some of my embroidery work and make some very simple little mini-quilts. I had planned to come up with a different design for each of them, but I like simple, so just went with that. I am going to get them marked and sandwiched to quilt in a bit, but thought I'd do a blog post first. I may add another border to this one because it is really little. I'll decide as I mark it.
As you can see, I still love fall colors. I always turn in those directions.
I love this one.....
This isn't bad either....
This one is a little different, but I do like it...
Now all I need to do is get them marked and sandwiched together. I have gathered all of my basting pins, and I'm ready to go. LOL
I also wanted to tell you all that I will be taking a two week break from my blog, well, from the computer really. So if you email me and don't hear back, that is the reason. We have some family issues going on that I need to take care of. Hopefully I will be back on here by the first of September. I had better get with the sandwiching. Thank you for visiting. Please come again and have a wonderful couple of weeks.

I miss you already, Winona! *grin*
Take care and hurry back when you can.
By the way, I love the blocks! I see apples and snowman- I think that means something! (Like you're ready for cooler weather too? *grin*)
I will miss your posts, but hope everything will work out with the family issues. I like how you have made the stitcheries into mini quilts. I especially like the snowman and fall ones. Take care and will look forward to seeing a post in September. Nola
Winona I will certainly miss your post and all of your beautiful work. Love all of the little quilts, I have a couple of redwork things done and I should do what you are doing and just make some mini quilts out of them but will have to see I am sure I can come up with something else to do instead of what I need to be doing. Have a very blessed week of no computer, I may steal your idea and take a break too, I am having issues too not family but friend ones and it is taking it's toll on me.
Blessings,Joann
You do beautiful work Winona! Enjoy your break..we will be here when you get back!
I noticed that many bloggers have been so busy over summer that there posts have been farther between. Fall seems to get everyone back in the mood.
All your little quilts are so sweet. I particularily like the the snowman one. I hope things go well and life gets back to normal soon. Take Care my friend,
Crispy
Dearest Winona,
I just LOVE looking at the things you make. I think you should open an etsy store.
Will miss you during your computer break, but will be thinking of you every day and praying.
I love ya my friend,
Cathy
I love the redwork on the quilts. It's always one of my favorite, most relaxing types of embroidery>
Your embroidery is lovely. Do you use floss or pearle cotton?
HI Winona~ This is Joann from Titus2keeperathome. I just wanted you to know that I dont' have that blog anymore and that I have a new one. If you have time when you get back from your break come and visit me at my new blog. Hope you enjoyed your time away from the computer. Look forward to seeing what you accomplished when you were away.
Blessings,Joann
